Hello Ralph: That's a good question. At one time, I pondered the same question myself. There are obviously plenty of communication systems operating under 30 MHz. I suppose there are reasons why CISPR or CISPR 22 does not specify radiated emissions below 30 MHz. I can suggest one possibility.

Joe, If the transmitting antenna (your product) and the receiving antenna were in free space, you pretty much could assume that the radiation falls off at 1/r^2, and thus use a 10.5dB correction factor between 10m and 3m measurements. (You might have to worry about near-field effects and antenna

I'd say either a comb generator, or a sweep generator but use them to excite a test object of the same general size as the equipment you wish to test. The smaller your chamber, the more it will be affected by the size of an EUT sitting in it. If you can be pretty sure what you will test, add its

I would assume that the 10m semi-anechoic chamber complies with ANSI C63.4 volumetric NSA. I would also assume that the 3m chamber noes not comply. The major correlation issues would relate to: 1) 3m versus 10m (regardless of the sites) 2) non-compliant room (with peaks and nulls) versus
